The Eastern black rhino is previously thought to be extinct in the Greater Amboseli ecosystem, due to rampant poaching, until MPT rangers rediscover a remnant population in a remote part of the Chyulu Hills National Park. A 2008 study estimates a minimum of 14 rhinos in the population, and MPT increases its ranger presence in the area to support the Kenya Wildlife Service in monitoring and protecting these rhinos.
